To get people into the mood for Valentine’s Day, Afro-House musician, Dalivaldo Starley (real name Darlington Ntokozo Moyo) has collaborated with a local artiste Melz and Mozambican, Meza Man for a track titled Mamiyo that is set to be released this Friday.
Once released, it will be available on a number of digital platforms.
Dalivaldo said the love song is dedicated to lovers as they celebrate the month of love.
“The song is for Valentine’s Day. It’s a dope love song that’ll certainly unite couples or long lost lovers who want to reminisce the good old days. Mamiyo is a Nigerian word which means Mama (mother), but in this song, it was used to mean my love or my queen,” explained Dalivaldo.
He said he deliberately chose to work with a foreign artiste in order to enhance his growth abroad.
Inspired by Mafikizolo, Kwesta, Roberto, Patoranking, Davido and Sakordie, the young musician has in the past worked with other up-and-coming artistes that include Chil4Ril, Y Star, Kingz Tha Kid, Chicker Tha Don, Zuzland Master, Loyal Beats, Flippa Kingz (Kickflip) and Lil Shone.
He has a number of tracks that include One day, Tamba Uchizunza, Mama Makakosha, Jamba Ngoma, Ntwana Yami, Sakholisa,Ayibo (Masuhamba), She My Girl and My Love Never Die. –@mthabisi_mthire
